EPA’s revised its webpage on climate change to downplay the role of human emissions. That risks giving the public an incomplete and misleading picture of the science. At Spark, we believe good science = better decisions.

We’re hiring for an Operations Director. Spark is looking for an experienced leader to help strengthen and scale our operations as we grow. www.sparkclimate.org/jobs/operati...

It’s time to unlock faster solutions for a key frontier in methane action: livestock. Livestock produce more methane than oil and gas, coal, or waste. But unlike most other sectors, we don’t have widely deployable technical solutions to reduce most livestock emissions yet.

We are inviting the land surface modeling community to participate in a new Warming-Induced Greenhouse Gas Emissions Model Intercomparison Project (WIE-MIP) and launching a grant program to provide resources to modeling teams

When the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta captured strange bubbles from a lake in 1776, he couldn’t have imagined the discovery would one day sit at the heart of global climate solutions💡🌍

What if plants could do more than pull CO₂ from the air? What if they could remove methane—a gas 80x more potent than CO₂ in the near term? Join our Oct 3 webinar to see what’s possible 👇

Next stop: New York Climate Week Our team of experts is excited to be participating in multiple events and discussions to accelerate progress on unsolved climate challenges. We hope to see you in New York. Reach out to connect with our team.

Thanks @jtemple.bsky.social for highlighting this important climate blind spot—and how Spark is working to shine a light on it

A lil scoop: @sparkclimate.bsky.social is launching a model intercomparison project to determine how tropical wetlands, thawing permafrost & other warming-driven emissions will accelerate climate change—and subtract from the carbon budget. Researchers at EDF, Woodwell, Stanford will contribute.

The EPA wants to overturn its own previous finding—which was based on overwhelming scientific evidence—that greenhouse gases harm public health and welfare. A lot is at stake with this decision for people and the planet, and repealing it would fly in the face of truth.

New data show methane levels are rising faster than expected—beyond what human emissions alone can explain. The likely cause? The Earth is getting hotter & nature is starting to emit more and absorb less Spark’s Ben Poulter and Danie Potocek explain: www.sparkclimate.org/article/what...

Atmospheric methane is still rising fast—even as we make progress cutting human emissions. What’s going on? We break down the leading hypotheses here: 📖 www.sparkclimate.org/article/what... Join our Aug 13 webinar for more 👇

We're hiring a Senior Program Officer for our Livestock Enteric Methane Mitigation program to play a pivotal role in advancing work to accelerate the development and adoption of scalable, science-based solutions to reduce methane emissions from livestock: www.sparkclimate.org/jobs/senior-...

Super pollutants are responsible for over half of today’s warming. Tackling them is the fastest way to slow climate change. Spark’s Ilissa Ocko joined @climateone.org to talk through every super pollutant—how they work, where they come from, and why they matter. www.climateone.org/audio/super-...

This is a critical climate moment—and the stakes are rising fast. Global warming broke 1.5°C last year, greenhouse gas emissions remain at record highs, and the impacts of climate change are prominent today and getting worse. Philanthropy has a crucial, and growing, role to play.

A new Science Advances study shows that decreases in sulfur emissions & rising CO2 levels could drive significant increases in methane emissions from wetlands. We may need even stricter targets for human-caused emissions targets to meet climate goals. theconversation.com/reducing-air...

Know any fundraising strategists eager to contribute to climate action? We're hiring a Development Director to support accelerating research, policy, and market-making progress in important, emerging climate areas, including methane and nitrous oxide. www.sparkclimate.org/jobs/develop...

🌱 Garden Grants is back — this round focused on GHGR. Homeworld Collective is excited to launch our second Garden Grants program, offering $50k-$150k grants (up to $1M total) to de-risk innovative ideas intersecting biotechnology and GHGR. 📌 Learn more: www.homeworld.bio/grants-green...

Not all targets are made the same. New analysis shows that even within the same CO₂e-100 reduction scenario — such as from NDCs — there is major variability in climate outcome based on the mix of assumed carbon dioxide and methane emissions reductions. www.ccacoalition.org/news/includi...
